Bug #52382 [Opn->Bgs]: NULL in method arguments is casted to string?

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52382&edit=1 ID: 52382 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: giorgio dot liscio at email dot it Summary: NULL in method arguments is casted to string? -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: DOM XML related Operating System: all ? xp x64 PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: They're not equivalent: you're providing a value for the "value" parameter to DOMDocument::createElement(), so yes, it will get coerced into an empty string using PHP's usual type juggling mechanism.
